If enough people read about love, peace and hope; maybe they can change to become more loving, compassionate people who truly live their lives without fear.

We can then change the world to become a better place like heaven on earth - as above, so below.

Jeffrey Long is a medical doctor specializing in the practice of radiation oncology, using radiation to treat cancer in Houma, Louisiana.

As a scientist, Jeff founded NDERF in 1998. He wanted to know if NDEs were real by directly asking the NDErs themselves. The answer is a resounding YES! As a result of his research, he is the author of the New York Times Best Seller, "Evidence of the Afterlife: The Science of Near-Death Experiences."

As a leading NDE researcher and a medical doctor, Jeff has appeared on national media including O'Rielly Factor, NBC today, ABC with Peter Jennings, the Dr. Oz Show, the History Channel, the Learning Channel, and National Geographic. He has also appeared on Fox News Houston and at the New York Academy of Sciences.

Our Featured Projects

NDERF inspired books!

Jeffrey Long, MD

For those who want to know

God and the Afterlife expands upon Dr. Long’s findings about the afterlife and is the first deep scientific exploration of NDE accounts that encounter God or spiritual beings. He shares accounts from NDErs who meet God. What he discovers is that these testimonials share unique similarities that provide overwhelming evidence that God is real.

Love & Relationships

Love is the number one idea described by the NDErs and learning about love through relationships is the number one reason we come to earth. This book puts the two concepts together to help learn to apply them in our own lives.

Takes NDE Research to a whole new level!

“There is currently more scientific evidence to the reality of near death experience (NDE) than there is for how to effectively treat certain forms of cancer,” states radiation oncologist Dr. Jeffrey Long in his groundbreaking book Evidence of the Afterlife.

Touching Comments

We want to thank our readers by sharing some of the most heart-felt comments.

Just a thank you for continuing to post near death surveys on your website. As a spiritual seeker who also is dealing with cancer, these accounts are very comforting. I check for new postings regularly and always enjoy reading all the new postings as soon as they are available on the Website.

I found Dr. Long's book to be an excellent source of information that was both analytically presented and inspiring. I've survived cancer a number of times and am prayerfully optimistic this will again be the case at age 64. However, I'm confident that a loving Creator awaits us to experience Atonement in Love once we lay our bodies down. Thanks to many NDE accounts of the marvelous love that awaits us, my fear of dying has diminished.

Thanks Jody. You know, what you and Jeff do with this website is extraordinarily important and useful. I cannot overstate how important NDE stories have been to me since losing my son three years ago. I have read many hundreds of stories on your website, and refer people to it frequently.

Just wanted to write and say how much your website has meant to me. I have been interested in NDEs for a long time. The first one I heard about on a BBC documentary resonated with me so much. I have just read Amy C NDE 4720 and was awash with tears. Happy tears , tears of relief! I have always worried about many of life's big questions and have been trying to grow on a spiritual level. I have been able to do so by reading as many NDEs as I can and learning from these peoples experiences. What you are providing people in your website is a gift.

I have read your book "Evidence of the Afterlife" and want to thank you for that too. I now truly believe our time here on earth is given to us as a way for us to grow spiritually. I am a much calmer and happier person because of this knowledge. As a teacher I respect the nature of learning and look forward to a future where I am always learning and growing. Thank you for being a part of that.

More From Our Readers

Thank You!

So many of these experiences are clearly from people who are unsure or in some manner insecure about telling their story. I wish these was some way I could reach them just to send a short message of thanks for posting. Not to breach their privacy or make their ego swell. Just to feel I can close the circle, let them know they really help, their experience in print is a powerful message. - R

Thank you, I really love your sites. Thanks for all of the hard work you do to get this information out there to the world. It's helped me so much!! :) Blessings to you... - R

I love your site. It has been such an inspiration to me over the years. I found John K's STE in the exceptional accounts section so uplifting. Like him, I am a monk in a monastery. I wonder if there's any way you could forward my thanks to him? Really a wonderful account. Thanks for all your work here. Bravo! - A

Both my wife and I read your book and were very moved. We have gone to your website often over the past few years and have found great comfort in the postings from those who wrote about their NDEs. I just wanted to reach out and encourage your work in this area. You are well appreciated. -S

Thank you so much for your site. It has given me a lot of comfort over the past few months. I've read so many stories and find them all fascinating and reassuring. While I haven't had an NDE, so many of the experiences sound familiar to me. It doesn't make sense, but that's the best way to describe the feeling I get when reading the stories. - Z

Please share your NDE with us.

We have two other websites devoted to other aspects of consciousness experiences. ADCRF www.adcrf.org is for after death communications (ADC). OBERF www.oberf.org is for all other experiences that are not an ADC or an NDE, such as spiritually transformative event, power of prayer, out of body experience, meditation experiences, premortal existence, precognitive dreams, etc.
